The Black-Veiled Girl's face was full of astonishment.

She had never expected Long Xingyu to make such a request.

The City of Slaughter had developed for over a thousand years; it was not as if strong individuals had never arrived, and there had even been Title Douluos among them.

Yet, even those existences, due to the suppression of soul skills, would never dare to be so arrogant as to say, "I don't need the novice protection period."

How did the man before her dare to do so?

Was it just because he had just killed a Black Knight?

Although she could not understand it, the Commentator still nodded with a smile; the City of Slaughter did not coddle anyone.

She turned and walked into the distance, leaving Long Xingyu alone as malicious gazes quickly gathered around him.

"Killing is not allowed at will in the outer city, so I'll ignore that for now."

"The stability of this area seems stronger than other places."

"I'll just stay nearby; I'll finish the basic outline of the teleportation array first, then go try out the Hell Slaughter Field."

As a member of the [Holy Demon Federation] advance team, subjects like array inscription and terrain surveying were essentially mandatory courses.

Long Xingyu was extremely proficient in this. While strolling with the Commentator earlier, he had been observing his surroundings the entire time and had finally selected his destination.

It was precisely for this reason that he had given up the protection period.

With outsiders following him, how could he possibly set up the relevant arrays?

He moved into a remote stone house and seized every moment, prioritizing the establishment of concealment and camouflage.

Compared to a large-scale teleportation array, this thing was much simpler, and in less than half a day, he had successfully prepared everything.

On the street, several mysterious figures hid in a corner, observing Long Xingyu's movements in secret, yet they discovered nothing unusual.

They belonged to the Enforcement Squad and took orders from that Black Knight Title Holder, specifically tasked with monitoring his movements to see just how special this person was.

However, they waited for the better part of a day.

They were forced to conclude that Long Xingyu simply did not leave his room.

What on earth was this guy trying to do? Everyone found it incomprehensible.

He had killed a patrol team in a high-profile manner upon entering the city and had voluntarily given up his protection period, so they had assumed he was either a troublemaker or had some ulterior motive.

And yet, this was it? He wasn't even going to the inner city; was he just going to rot away in an outer city stone house? Then why bother coming to the City of Slaughter at all?

"You, go back and report the situation to the Lord, and ask what the next step should be."

One of the mysterious figures left, and the message was quickly relayed to the higher-ups, leaving the Black Knight Title Holder equally bewildered.

"Leave two people to observe for a few more days, and have the others withdraw; it's a waste of effort."

After thinking it over, the Black Knight Title Holder relaxed his vigilance, deciding that Long Xingyu was all bark and no bite.

Many similar fellows had appeared in the City of Slaughter before; they acted tough before entering, only to be scared witless once they were inside.

Although he didn't ignore him entirely, he couldn't be bothered to pay special attention to him. If he really wanted to cause trouble, he could just suppress him when the time came.

The interlude ended, and everyone went back to their business.

Long Xingyu had actually sensed the surveillance long ago.

He could use his spiritual power freely, let alone his perception; who could hide from the eyes of a Divine Throne Knight?

He first used a diversionary tactic to disguise himself, then set up a concealment array so that even if a strong individual peered in, they would not be able to see the true situation.

After that, he immediately began the next step.

In addition to the teleportation array, he also needed to establish a communication array.

When he met with Lin Feng again, Long Xingyu wore an excited expression, introducing his progress to his father-in-law as if seeking credit.

"His Majesty, I have successfully infiltrated the place, and everything is going smoothly, though there are a few little mice watching me."

"How is Hao Chen doing? I noticed the Heaven Dou Empire seemed to be mobilizing large legions when I arrived; is everything alright?"

Lin Feng was quite at ease regarding Long Xingyu.

He was not at all surprised by the situation in the City of Slaughter.

Next, he just needed to follow the plan, spending the time and energy to inscribe the arrays, and the mission would essentially be complete.

After all, that hellhole was a mess—perverts, freaks, lunatics, and conspirators; almost every type of person was there.

Long Xingyu might be special, but he was definitely not the most special. He reckoned the patrol teams and the Enforcement Squad would give up after watching him for a few days.

"The Heaven Dou Empire has surrounded the Sunset Forest, but it's fine."

"Chen Zidian's Special Operations Team has arrived, which is enough to handle the threat."

"As for you... don't just focus on inscribing arrays; remember to find time to go play in the Hell Slaughter Field."

"Although the City of Slaughter is cruel, it is very suitable for your development. I look forward to you obtaining the Slaughter God's Domain."

"As for the outside world, I will instruct Chen Zidian to stir up some trouble, focusing the attention of the native forces on the Sunset Forest to facilitate your actions."

Lin Feng gave his brief instructions and finalized the plan.

Long Xingyu has decent talent and is still worth cultivating.

After all, he is now a son-in-law; if his strength were insufficient, it would be a disgrace to This Seat as well.

By passing the trials of the City of Slaughter, obtaining the Slaughter God's Domain, and coordinating it with the Divine Throne of Apocalypse and Slaughter, he will barely be able to put up a fight.

"I understand. Please rest assured, I will absolutely not let you down!"

Long Xingyu grasped the implication and, after some thought, adjusted his plans.

Calculating the time, it is about time to go out for a stroll; staying in the room all the time is actually suspicious.

However, before that, he must conceal the semi-finished array patterns to prevent anyone from sneaking in after he leaves.

Once everything was settled, he headed toward the inner city. There are no guards between the inner and outer cities, allowing for free movement as long as one follows the rules.

Soon, he arrived near the Hell Slaughter Field.

To obtain the Slaughter God's Domain, one must achieve one hundred consecutive victories.

The surrounding environment is even more hostile; even while walking alone on the road, Long Xingyu encountered two sneak attacks.

Naturally, with his spiritual power and mental strength as a foundation, such attacks were meaningless, and he easily killed his assailants in return.

This situation drew the focus of many, especially those who noticed him standing at the registration desk, immediately sparking whispers.

Among them were two members of the Enforcement Squad, the only ones remaining who were still responsible for monitoring Long Xingyu; seeing this, they immediately reported it.

"Oh? Is he finally going to participate?"

"I thought he intended to keep hiding like a turtle."

"Send a few people to sneak into his room and inspect his belongings. If there are no issues, leave it be."

"If he cannot survive the Hell Slaughter Field, then having more schemes is useless. Conversely, if he truly can win, the great King of Slaughter will not care about his thoughts."

The Black Knight Title Holder sneered and issued instructions casually.

Several days had passed since he entered, and he had almost forgotten about Long Xingyu.

Now that he had received the news, he only felt a slight interest; he was too lazy to go to the scene to watch, knowing the result would suffice.

"My Lord, that guy achieved his first victory, almost completely crushing his opponent. No one was a match for him in a single exchange!"

"Although he did not use any soul skills, judging solely by his physical fitness, outside the City of Slaughter, he should be a Title Douluo just like you!"

Hearing this, the Black Knight Title Holder was finally moved.

He raised his eyelids, but he did not show any panic.

After all, this is the City of Slaughter, the domain of the King of Slaughter.

Except for those who are specially permitted, even a Title Douluo cannot use soul skills here.

The opponent might be very strong and could defeat him outside, but in this special environment, he cannot stir up any major waves.

Even Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong could not have imagined an invasion from another world, let alone the Black Knight before him; conventional thinking is a deadly trap.

"My Lord, that guy signed up again!"

"He is sitting in the Hell Slaughter Field and does not seem to intend to leave?"

"Even here, it has been a very, very long time since such a freak appeared. Are you truly not going to take a look?"
